The Third Part of Our Summer Vacation

Our last week of our vacation was spent in Oceanside, CA, just north of San Diego. We stayed in a hotel near by and went every day back to Larry and Jackie's house and their beach across the street. What can we say, the Harwards are a beach loving family. We love the sun, the sand, the surf, the sound of the waves crashing in. The breeze that blows through the house is heavenly. We played out in the sand for five days. Greg's parents set up camp for us early each morning. The boys (Nelson and Tiff's kids) got really good at boogie boarding. They could catch and ride almost any wave all the way into shore. (We had to go the second day and get Nelson a rach guard to protect his tummie because the sand and board were eating it up.) Alli loved playing in the sand (as it seems all kids do.) Grandma Judy bought a ton of sand toys to keep her and the boys busy. We had wonderful food every night and enjoyed spending time with our family. The first week of vacation was spent doing lots of things and staying busy and the last week was spent relaxing in the sun. What a great end to the best vacation we have ever had. We even got to spend a little time with some old and dear friends from Utah who live in Oceanside now. ~ We are all in agreement that it couldn't have been any better.
